This is the driver for the MAC 10/100/1000 on-chip Ethernet controllers
(Synopsys IP blocks); it has been fully tested on STLinux platforms.
(Synopsys IP blocks).
Currently this network device driver is for all STM embedded MAC/GMAC
(i.e. 7xxx/5xxx SoCs) and it's known working on other platforms i.e. ARM SPEAr.

o XGMAC is not supported.
o Review the timer optimisation code to use an embedded device that will be
available in new chip generations.
o Add the EEE - Energy Efficient Ethernet
o Add the PTP - precision time protocol
